I had no idea I was going to be an author. Some children know exactly what they want to be, and from an early age, but even as a teenager I hadn’t a clue. I certainly enjoyed dabbling in writing. I got into trouble at school once for taking an essay subject and approaching it from the most obscure angle I could think of, and for a while I wrote silly poems with my mum. But as for becoming a published author, it never occurred to me that I might head off in that direction. When it finally happened, I was on the M4 motorway, heading for London! - See more at: http://www.sallygrindley.co.uk/about-sally/#sthash.F8ts7jVO.dpuf
